Well, I was one of those Diablo,Hellfire,DiabloII,DiabloII LoD addicts.
Me and my wife, that is.... Best Necro-Pally team you've ever laid eyes on *laughs*
Anyways, i'd be glad to see D3 out. However, I hope, for once, Blizzard will remember that it is good to invest in the game quality now and then, Even if that actually brings less fans.
You will have a smaller yet dedicated community.
However, since WoW is going down, I'm really afraid Blizzard will make a milking cow out of D3.
I really don't want to see a WoW clone.
Yes, WoW, as a game is a rather good one. Not great, but good. I used to play the damn thing, with my wife (again, best Warlock-Paladin PvE team you've ever seen).
I stopped playing well... 'cose i was REALLY getting sick of:
"GOLD PLZ!!!!11!!ONE!!!!11"
"HALP I AGGROD!!111!"
"ZOMG I NEEDZ CLOTH ROBE!!!11!! YES, I TAUREN WARROR BUT DIZ ROBE IZ C00L!!!1ONE11!!1"
And the thing that really ruined it for me: gold sellers and power levelers.
The fact that me, the casual player, could not touch the auction house since all items were insanely over-priced.
The day my lvl50 lock was approached by a full epic lvl 70, begging for gold "I NEEDZ JUST 1000 GOLD PLZ!!!11!", and wanting to sell me a quest item, that day i simply disconnected, threw the game in the trash bin, and forgot it even existed.
Also, Blizzard should remember that maybe, just maybe some mature players will want to play the game aswell.
And usually, the more mature audience plays while they should be working, usually on a crappy laptop, not on an all mighty "P5, Million-Core, hey, look I have more megs of RAM than hungry people in Nigeria and that nuclear-power-plant type of humming noise is from my Video Card" type of computers.
